The iconic Panggu Castle in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise had a massive hole blasted through it, now teetering on the verge of collapse.

At the center of the battlefield, Aokiji and Akainu regrouped.

Watching the astonishing destruction Leon had caused, Aokiji marveled, "Is this monster human or some kind of mutant creature..."

"No time to discuss that now, Kuzan!"

"We need to lure him out of Mary Geoise first before we make our move."

Aokiji nodded. If that terrifying attack came again a few more times, it might destroy all of Mary Geoise entirely.

Leaving aside the Celestial Dragons' pride, Mary Geoise, as the Holy Land, held its own special political significance. Letting this monster continue its rampage would severely shake the World Government's ruling authority.

Besides, here, he and Akainu couldn't unleash their full strength either.

With the battle plan set, Aokiji waved directly into the distance.

"Hey, Borsalino, how long are you going to keep watching the show?"

The moment Aokiji finished speaking, a flash of yellow light appeared beside him, and Kizaru finally arrived at their side.

"Oh~ already decided? Then let's begin."

You...

Seeing Kizaru's lazy demeanor, Aokiji didn't know what to say.

Though the three of them were hailed as the Navy's three great "monsters" and future pillars, their differing convictions of justice meant their relationship was hardly harmonious...

But the situation was urgent, and this wasn't the time to argue.

"Alright, let's start!"

Akainu led the charge, magma billowing from beneath him as he leaped into the air.

"Dog Fang Crimson Lotus!"

Akainu's magma-fied right arm transformed into a massive dog-head shape, charging at Leon with unstoppable momentum. The magma-formed dog head clamped down fiercely on Leon's right arm.

Aokiji's figure vanished from his spot at the same time, a wave of freezing air spreading across the ground toward Leon at astonishing speed.

Kizaru shed his lazy demeanor entirely, yellow light flashing as he appeared in midair. Several laser beams shot from his fingertips, precisely striking Leon's body.

The future three Admirals of the Navy joined forces for the first time, displaying astonishing coordination.

As their opponent, Leon was first hit by Akainu's magma fist, the powerful impact shaking his stance.

I wonder how those Zoan users can still talk normally after transforming...

As Godzilla, Leon's physiology was different, so he could only silently complain: Akainu... not that I'm faking it, but that punch of yours feels warm and cozy on me—it's basically healing me...

You'd be better off just slashing me with a blade.

Still, despite that, facing the relentless barrage of attacks from the three, Leon found himself struggling to hold his ground.

Godzilla's fangs, claws, and even his devastating tail swipe were too clumsy against the three, who possessed Observation Haki. Every one of Leon's attacks was easily dodged.

Moreover, all three were Logia Devil Fruit users, capable of elementalizing their bodies!

In the early days of the Pirate King, having a Logia Devil Fruit meant just one thing.

Invincibility!

Though after the Haki patch and later showings, Logia abilities were overshadowed by Mythical Zoans.

But in Leon's current situation, even if his attacks landed, they inflicted no damage on the three.

No help for it.

He'd just transmigrated and hadn't caught up with the meta yet...

Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji were called Navy monsters not just because of their Logia abilities, but also their top-tier combat instincts.

After keenly noticing the giant beast's weakness—sluggish movements due to its massive size—the three unanimously opted for hit-and-run tactics.

As time passed, Leon's movements grew increasingly cumbersome.

Layers of ice piled up on his body continuously. Even if he shattered them with force, they were immediately re-covered. Akainu, as if driven by some obsession, kept hammering magma fists into Leon's head. Though the magma didn't harm Leon, the impact left him dizzy.

From the sky, laser beams rained down constantly. Even if they could barely penetrate Godzilla's body defense, the relentless attrition still dealt considerable damage to Leon.

Are you three treating me like a boss fight?

Crowd control and chip damage all the way.

The exhaustion from the fierce battle began to overwhelm Leon's spirit.

Counting the time, less than three minutes had passed since the three joined forces to attack.

Damn it!

Now I really feel like an Ultraman—no timer on my chest, but I'm already flashing red. It was too much for an ordinary human's willpower to pilot Godzilla's body.

At this rate, Leon could pass out at any moment.

If he fell here, Godzilla wouldn't turn to stone, and no one would lend him light...

Gritting his teeth, Leon unleashed his Atomic Breath.
